Questions about the Underwater Navigator Specialty course
Why do I need a navigation specialty when I have a dive guide?
Because guides aren't always available, dive sites aren't always simple, and being able to find your own way back to the boat is a fundamental safety skill. The specialty teaches compass use, natural navigation, and distance estimation: skills every diver should have, not just guides.
